I'd love to see pictures of your progress on the fresh air setup as well. Being patient. Cant wait for this setup to come out. My upcoming engine build has a stock doghouse fanshroud and is waiting a compatible SyncLink setup.

I purchased SyncLink from Pete for my Speedster replica.
First, Pete was very responsive and answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly. The kit arrived within a few days of ordering.
Second, the kit is a thing of beauty. Well packaged and every piece fit precisely.
Installation on a speedster replica is a little tough as there's very little room in the footwell but it is well worth the effort.
I have tried several different linkages; Redline, CB (with the heim joint modification), CSP bellcrank and Gene Berg - none of them were close to the performance of the SyncLink.

Thanks, Pete!

BTW, anyone interested in a nice Berg linkage in great shape? New, unmolested Weber IDF arms and down rods included. Make me an offer.

Started to install mine and realized I had two passenger side brackets, so I emailed Pete, and he had a new set in the mail the next day. Talk about customer service. Thanks Pete!!!!

I don't remember if this was covered somewhere in the last 20 pages, so I apologize if it was.. how does the sync cable attach to the pedal? I currently have a VERY thick morse cable.. does the cable for this replace it entirely?

I sooooo want this kit!!!!!!

Really annoyed with my linkages as they never stay in sync and I'm doing 70 miles a day so can't afford down time to play with things!

Are they really easy to set up compared to the other linkage types?

I'm waiting on Pete to get a prototype together for cars with heating

thanks for the reply! kinda bummed because I liked my crazy thick cable, but I'd rather have this than my crappy hex bar..

The synclink cable is better than the stock cable and you also have less friction on it because of the design. I think the larger cable would be over kill on this system, all you need to do is make sure the pedal stops when the carbs are WOT and you won't have unnecessary strain on it.

Wow, I haven't been here in a while...thanks to you folks keeping me busy Very Happy

I just wanted to let the "heated" guys know, that I have't forgotten about you. i'm getting close to a finished prototype. The key element for me is that not only does it have to work well...it also has to look good. This has been the toughest part.

Anyway, I will post pics this time of the prototype...I'm hoping by next weekend. I actually wanted to work on it this weekend, but, the better half wanted to spend our 39 year anniversary somewhere nicer than the shop Very Happy

Lastly, thanks to all who have supported the system and all the positive things said here.

more to come.....

Don't forget about us type 3 guys, i know we are a minority with being in the luxury end of the VW line Wink

but good type 3 linkages are tough to find.

Will the current setup work with a stock fan-shroud with the outlets, just without the tubes, or is it that it interferes with the shroud itself?
